METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING AT LEAST ONE MICROORGANISM BY MEANS OF MASS SPECTROMETRY

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for characterizing at least one microorganism from a sample, said method including identifying said at least one microorganism and predetermining the typing properties, potential resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor. Said method is characterized in that predetermining the typing properties, resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor for said at least one microorganism is implemented by means of mass spectrometry through the use of proteins, peptides, and/or metabolites as markers of said typing properties, resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor.
